 * http: added the ability to :ref:`merge adjacent slashes<envoy_api_field_config.filter.network.http_connection_manager.v2.HttpConnectionManager.merge_slashes>` in the path.
 * listeners: added :ref:`continue_on_listener_filters_timeout <envoy_api_field_Listener.continue_on_listener_filters_timeout>` to configure whether a listener will still create a connection when listener filters time out.
 * listeners: added :ref:`HTTP inspector listener filter <config_listener_filters_http_inspector>`.
+* rbac: added support for DNS SAN as :ref:`principal_name <envoy_api_field_config.rbac.v2.Principal.Authenticated.principal_name>`.
 * lua: extended `httpCall()` and `respond()` APIs to accept headers with entry values that can be a string or table of strings.
 * performance: new buffer implementation enabled by default (to disable add "--use-libevent-buffers 1" to the command-line arguments when starting Envoy).
 * router: added :ref:`rq_retry_skipped_request_not_complete <config_http_filters_router_stats>` counter stat to router stats.
